I added more debug and got this:

[ 215.097318] 4) | /* On unexpected CPU 4, expected 5!!! */
[ 215.098285] 4) | /* Online CPUs: 0-7 Active CPUs: 0-7 */
[ 215.099283] 4) | /* ret = 0, ->cpus_allowed 0-4,6-7 */

http://www.rdrop.com/~paulmck/submission/console.tpkm.log.gz

The task's ->cpus_allowed got set to the bitwise not of the requested
mask. I took a quick scan through the code but don't see how this
happens.

Very strange.

Any suggestions for further debugging? Left to myself, I would copy
the requested cpumask to a per-task location and insert checks in the
sched_setaffinity() code path, crude and ugly though that might seem.
(Ugly enough that I will wait until tomorrow to try it out.)

Thanx, Paul
